Let's get this immediately out of the way.... I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!!
It is true B-movie, direct to dvd, put big studios to shame, epic high fantasy fun!!!
If you grew up reading about elves, orcs and wizards or playing Dungeon & Dragons, then this saga may appeal to you.

It is one story spread over five movies. Made on a shoe string crowd funded budget (each movie ranges from about $100,000 to $140,000), shot back to back (each movie about 2 weeks) and filled with wonderful creativity and deep passion... these movies are delightfully entertaining.

The actors are all solid, giving great performances. There is some incredible Utah location work. The musical score is surprisingly emotion invoking and powerful. The editing and direction could use some polish, the limited CGI is very dodgy but each movie improves greatly over the previous as the film makers learn what works and they become bolder with each new instalment.

Are these perfect flicks, hell no. But the love, knowledge and respect the filmmakers have for the high fantasy genre is evident in every scene and is addicting.

While not as slick or fine tuned compared to their 200plus million dollar blockbuster movie cousins, I found these five films to be far more entertaining and satisfying than other recent endeavours like the Hobbit trilogy or Warcraft.

So if you craving some Dragonlance or Forgotten Realms type adventures, and are willing to forgive some production short comings, I highly recommend you seek out these five fantastic films.
